Today's Film Festival Lineup

The Westport Youth Film Festival continues today.

The Westport Youth Film Festival continues today in downtown Westport, kicking off at 10 a.m. to show 65 student films from all over the world in both Westport Town Hall and Toquet Hall.

WYFF's presence will be seen all over the downtown area with musical performances from local high school bands, free popcorn and soda at Oscar's Delicatessen, and WYFF volunteers stationed outside of stores selling T-shirts and dispensing event guides. 

At 4 p.m., Alex Fjellberg Swerdlowe of Weston will show his award-winning short film The Complex in Toquet Hall, immediately followed by founder Chris Casey's premiere of his web series The Roy Orbison Project, the production of which involved more than five Team WYFF alumni.

Casey will be graduating from New York University later this spring.  To conclude the WYFF weekend, an Awards Ceremony will be held at 6 p.m. where 11 awards donated by Tiffany & Co. will be bestowed upon nine lucky filmmakers and two outstanding community leaders who have been monumental in helping WYFF this past year.
